Chapter 443 The Blackwater Legion

6:30 PM, Jia City, temporary base of the Blackwater Legion.

Dozens of trucks, fully loaded with military supplies, were parked quietly in the base.

Sun Wei stood in the temporary command post to the side, looking at the route map of Jia City leading to St. Paul's City spread out before him.

After a moment of thought, Sun Wei instructed his adjutant, "Bring the deputy commander and the two battalion commanders here for a temporary meeting."

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant saluted and immediately ran out of the temporary command post.

About five minutes later, three people walked in. The two battalion commanders were familiar faces, and the deputy commander, Sun Wu, was Sun Wei's own younger brother.

"Sun Wu, is the temporary signal terminal ready?" Sun Wei asked directly.

"It's all ready." The stout Sun Wu nodded. "A total of three terminals, which can cover the entire regiment."

"Okay." Sun Wei instructed, "First Battalion and Second Battalion, you allocate the terminals and bring them with you on the road. It's too chaotic here, with private armed forces and black gangs everywhere. Moreover, the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. Entrusting it to us is a sign of their trust. We must not be careless, let alone make mistakes. First Battalion will go first, scout ahead, expand the area, and consider all possible situations. The escort formation must also be spread out, not too dense. Each battalion must also reserve support units in advance. In short, although this task seems like something a fool could do, as long as it's an order from Director Su, we must treat it as the most difficult task to execute. As I always say, our overall quality can be a little lacking, but we must be serious about our work!"

"Yes, sir!" The three officers saluted in unison.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Sun family's troops may only rank in the second tier of the Ruler Army's ranks, but their obedience is definitely among the best. This is also Sun Wei's way of dealing with the world. He is very good at downplaying his shortcomings and continuously showcasing his strengths.

"Report!" A guard's voice came from outside the door. The person quickly walked into the command post, saluted the four officers, and then said, "All troops are ready and can depart at any time."

"Okay, depart immediately!" Sun Wei nodded, then picked up the military cap on the table, put it on his head, and led the others out of the command post.

A line of military vehicles, stretching as far as the eye could see, was parked on the side of the road. They looked serious and the formation was neat, making them look the part.

"Get in the car!" As the commanders of each company gave the order, the soldiers immediately jumped into the trucks in order.

The entire regiment was escorting military equipment worth a full thirty million, heading towards the transaction location as the night gradually arrived.

...

Panama City, temporary office of the An family's military intelligence.

The office was full of busy military intelligence personnel, working diligently.

Yu Mingyuan, An Qiqi, and Liu Hongxu were sitting in a separate conference room inside, chatting.

When Su Tianyu was negotiating in Jia City, he had the full support of the entire General Administration of Intelligence and the An family's military intelligence departments behind him. They constantly received intelligence from District 1 and St. Paul's City, observing the slightest disturbance on the other side.

"Knock knock knock!"

As the three were chatting about the recent developments in District 1, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Director An, Mr. Xu is back." A military intelligence officer walked in and reported to An Qiqi.

An Qiqi couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said to Yu Mingyuan and the others, "Our hero is back."

Then, An Qiqi ordered, "Quickly, invite him in!"

After a while, Xu Nan, wearing an An family military uniform, walked into the room, smiling and reaching out to An Qiqi, saying as he walked, "Finally back."

An Qiqi, Yu Mingyuan, and Liu Hongxu hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"You may not have met Xu Nan," An Qiqi said softly, "Let me introduce you. We've known each other for a long time. He's also from District Six..."

"Finally met." After a brief introduction, Yu Mingyuan shook Xu Nan's hand vigorously, "Qiqi is right, you are our greatest hero."

"Not at all." Xu Nan said with a smile, "I just did what I could."

"You're being modest!" Yu Mingyuan patted his arm, "Don't leave tonight, let's have dinner together. There are some good friends here in Panama City, let's introduce you."

"Sure." Xu Nan agreed with a smile.

"Come, come, let's all sit down and chat." An Qiqi called out to everyone.

After the four of them sat down again, An Qiqi started talking about business, "Senior, I'm sorry to disturb your vacation and call you back urgently. There's something here, and after thinking about it, I still have to rely on you to help."

"Tell me!" Xu Nan said, picking up his teacup.

An Qiqi's expression became serious as she talked about business, "It's like this, District 1 is currently holding a military conference targeting St. Paul's City. As you know, we are now in a state of internal tension and external relaxation with them. We are friendly on the surface, but we are actually competing secretly. We need to understand their movements, but we have no one there, and no news can get out."

"Yes." Yu Mingyuan also sighed, "The more intense the confrontation, the more rigorous their defenses become. It's become more difficult for us to obtain intelligence now. Many informants can no longer access core information. Especially Kang Dinghuang, he is now very careful in his actions and has set up a special anti-espionage department to protect information very well."

"Kang Dinghuang is highly valued by the upper echelons of District 1." Xu Nan nodded, "His opinions will influence some decisions."

An Qiqi took over, "So, we still have to rely on you, after all, you have a wider network of contacts there."

"Okay!" Xu Nan agreed without any hesitation, "Wait a moment, I'll go out and make a few calls now."

Xu Nan got up and left the room, and Yu Mingyuan and the others continued to wait for news.

...

St. Paul's City, Chief Executive's office.

While Jia City was in tense negotiations, Gustav was sitting on the sofa as usual, holding a book in his hand, reading it with great interest.

After a few minutes, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and then the Chief of Staff walked in with a document in his hand.

"General, this is the list." The Chief of Staff walked to the sofa, presented the list with both hands, "They are all ready over there. The negotiations are also over, just waiting for your approval."

"Hmm..." Gustav casually took the list, glanced at it, and threw it aside, then asked, "Can it be done?"

"Yes, it can." The Chief of Staff nodded, "The first payment from their side has already arrived. As long as we nod our heads, it will be credited."

"That's good." A hint of a smile finally appeared on Gustav's rigid face.

"Also, the thirty million military equipment transaction," the Chief of Staff added, "will take place at nine o'clock tonight."

Gustav was silent for a moment, "Just follow the planned schedule."

After speaking, Gustav patted the Chief of Staff's shoulder, and the two smiled at each other.
